Pelosi: Congress Must Uphold Oath to ‘Protect and Defend’ Constitution... by Passing Gun Control July 22, 2013 - 4:01 PM By Ryan Kierman Subscribe to Ryan Kierman RSS
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D – Calif.) cited her oath to “protect and defend” the U.S. Constitution as the reason Congress should enact harsher gun control measures.
In a press release marking the one-year anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado shootings, the former Speaker of the House said: “In Congress, there can be no more fitting memorial to the lives lost in Aurora, in Newtown, and across the country than a concerted effort to enact commonsense gun safety legislation.
"We must uphold our oath to ‘protect and defend’ the constitution and all Americans by expanding background checks and keeping dangerous firearms out of the wrong hands.”
“We must restore confidence in the safety of our homes, schools, movie theaters, and neighborhoods by taking clear, concrete steps to prevent gun violence,” Pelosi added.
Inquiries made by CNSNews.com to Pelosi’s press office about how expanding gun control squares with members’ duty to uphold the Constitution were not returned.
“Nancy Pelosi’s comments last week were breathtaking,” said Erich Pratt, director of communications for Gun Owners of America, in an interview with CNSNews.com. “She actually stated that she wants to uphold the Constitution by enacting additional background checks on gun purchases.
“I wonder which country’s constitution she is referring to, because ours clearly makes no allowances for gun control,” Pratt remarked, pointing out that the Second Amendment that Rep. Pelosi swore to "support and defend" was actually intended to be a guarantee against government attempts at unduly restricting gun ownership, not an excuse for it.

Pelosi is senile. She needs to retire.
All Democrats including Pelosi, Obama, Reid,Feinstein etc. are hardcore communists.
They want the government to have unlimited power and for individuals to have no rights , no say , no choice in anything. rationing of everything and breadlines is what they are after.
a slave own no land , no property. this is what they want to make of all of us, slaves. and they say they are against slavery. pure evil communist liars is what democrats are.
This will protct the Commie/Facist/Islamists in charge from a rebellious population, now won’t it?
Question: Cops, Sherifs, Homelansecuritizers, Military and Guardsmen—whose side will THEY be on?
Huhhh?
Mrs pelosi. 911 called. They want their crazy back.

Now I’m positive that they are loosing on gun control.
Pelosi is ready for the rubber room.
The unrestricted lying of politicians in 2013 is a sobering sign of the extent to which they feel in control of the nation. That any politician would say what Pelosi says would be shocking but that someone with her high position weekly makes such dishonest statements is horrible.
Let those who exalt such despots form their own territory. They are incompatible with a free and responsible people and nation.
She is the incarnation of the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland.
She pretends her self-contradictory references support her intended meaning.
We really need a new IQ scale to correctly categorize the bimbo. With our current scale - using 100 as the norm - we need negative numbers (very large ones) to rate her (or it).
Me, I'd go with a fair measure of both.
If there were an award for Most Addled Bonehead in Congress, Pelosi would win, hands down.
And THAT would be a very, very, VERY tough competition.
These socialists will not stop till they have erased individual freedom across the board. They will not relent on this issue, it is clear. We have a foundational formalized right and solid US Supreme Court decisions but in practice, nothing has changed, while these socialists keep pressing to restrict freedom more fully.
They're BOTH in early stages of dementia.
For the record:( minus the botox and facelifts ) Nancy Pelosi.. Born: March 26, 1940 (age 73)
“Question: Cops, Sherifs, Homelansecuritizers, Military and Guardsmen—whose side will THEY be on?”
THEY will be paralyzed with ROE’s, PC’d to within an inch of their effectiveness and hardly worth the expense to fit them out with uniforms.
Actually, they’ll end up like be a bunch of lawless, irresponsible, hooded and masked para’s running around, working their agenda at will. A law unto themselves!
YOUR town will be like Doge City and YOU will be a criminal simply by virtue of the fact that you are not one of THEM.

She also says we have to wipe our butts before we take a dump.or pass bills before we read them.
I will go with the first-hand experience of one of our representatives who said that, while she was majority leader in the House, everything was about politics. She is not stupid, but she is totally political. Lying is just part of the political battle for her. The representative indicated everything was about politics.
